Multicenter StudyTraumatic occlusion and dissection of the main renal artery: endovascular treatment.
To report experience with endovascular treatment of traumatic injuries of the main renal artery. ⋯ The majority of occlusions and dissections of the main renal artery after major blunt abdominal trauma can be successfully treated with recanalization and stent placement. However, long-term kidney salvage is not always achieved, and there is a potential of development of renovascular hypertension, which may require late nephrectomy.

Multicenter StudyUse of a retrievable vena cava filter with low-intensity anticoagulation for prevention of pulmonary embolism in patients with cancer: an observational study in 106 cases.
To evaluate a retrievable inferior vena cava (IVC) filter in combination with low-intensity oral anticoagulation for prevention of pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with malignancy complicated by thromboembolic disease. ⋯ In patients with malignancies complicated by venous thromboembolic disease, an IVC filter together with low-intensity anticoagulation may be a possible treatment strategy for PE prophylaxis. Controlled studies are warranted.
